Dry Falls Waterfall
April 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Dry Falls Waterfall near Highlands, North Carolina with Werner. This is from a day trip from Asheville to Highlands and waterfall land. The name Dry Falls is not very fitting, as you can see. This fall is huge and you can walk behind the falls for a great view of rainbows if you time it [...]
Riding NC215- The Waterfall Route
April 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Riding North Carolina 215, also known as Lake Logan Road, from Canton, NC to Highlands,NC is a dream ride, except for the Canton part. It’s kind of smelly from the paper mill there. But, once you get past holding your nose while going through Canton (tough to do with a helmet on), your breath gets [...]

Riding the Blueridge Parkway in March is sweet! The temperature was in the 60s’ today and the sky was true blue. I hopped on the parkway, which happens be only a couple of blocks from my house, and rode south for a cup of coffee at a faraway Starbucks. This is what riding is all [...]

Finally, a chance to ride. The weather warmed up to 50° in the Asheville area, so I cranked up Thurmond, met a friend in Weaverville, and headed up River Road to Marshall. It was a great ride and a great cup of coffee at Zuma. The only downside…I slid on a patch of mud pulling [...]

November 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Image via Wikipedia Motorcycling western North Carolina in November can be questionable, but today, there was no question. It was an absolutely perfect day to ride. Sixty degrees, very little wind, and not a cloud in the sky. Only pure sunshine on a deep blue canvas. I started the ride with a little work, stopping [...]
Fall Riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway
October 24, 2010 By 2 Comments
Fall riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway is amazing. It’s October 23 and the colors are at their peak in most places. At the highest elevations, many leaves have already fallen. I set out today to take a short ride on the Parkway but ended up riding much longer than expected. It was just too [...]
